Description
Job Requirements
The Senior RF/ Microwave engineers would be responsible for design, commissioning and test of RF/ Microwave circuitry on complex systems for airborne Radar products.
The successful candidate may be required to supervise other less experienced RF / Microwave engineers working on the same project.
The role will be based at our customer’s site in Edinburgh and may allow for hybrid working after an initial period of familiarisation onsite.
